Cladding

Timber cladding brings warmth, texture and material depth to modern architecture. Avara™ thermally modified timber is designed for exterior applications where appearance, longevity and consistency matter.

Avara™ Timber Cladding

Avara™ timber cladding combines clean machining with the natural character of real wood. Produced in Ireland and thermally modified for exterior use, it is suited to façades where consistency of finish and long-term material performance are important.

Available in a range of grades, textures and coatings, Avara™ allows flexibility in appearance while maintaining a coherent architectural system.

Avara character Yakisugi timber cladding

Yakisugi Timber Cladding

Yakisugi is produced using the traditional Japanese charring process, creating a darker and more textured surface finish. The timber is charred, brushed and coated to achieve different visual effects ranging from lightly textured surfaces through to heavier crackled finishes.

Used carefully, Yakisugi brings shadow, depth and variation to a façade in a way that coated timber alone cannot replicate.

Western Red Cedar Timber Cladding

Western Red Cedar is valued for its warmth, fine grain and natural stability, making it a longstanding choice for architectural façades.

Its rich tones weather gradually over time, allowing both contemporary and traditional buildings to age naturally.

Timber vs Composite Cladding

Composite cladding is manufactured using a blend of plastic and wood fibre, resulting in a more uniform and manufactured surface appearance.

Thermally modified timber offers a different approach — retaining the warmth, grain and variation of real wood while improving dimensional stability through heat and steam modification.

Unlike composite materials, timber can weather naturally, be repaired more easily, and remain recyclable at end of life.
